The application of crisis intervention in middle-aged and young patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of crisis intervention in middle-aged and young patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary stent implantation (PCI). Methods: A total of 108 middle-aged and young patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing PCI were selected from July 2018 to July 2019 in the Department of Cardiology, Hai'an County People's Hospital. They were divided into two groups, according to a random number table, with 54 cases in each group. The control group implemented routine postoperative intervention, and the intervention group implemented postoperative crisis intervention. The changes in the two groups' sense of crisis, mental state, quality of life and hope level before and after the intervention were compared. Results: The emotional, behavioral, and cognitive scores of the intervention group were lower than those of the control group after 4 weeks of intervention (P < .05). The mental state scores of the intervention group were lower than those of the control group (P < .05). Also, the various quality of life scores were higher than those of the control group (P < .05). The intervention group’s hope level scores were higher than the control group (P < .05) after 4 weeks of intervention. Conclusion: The application of crisis intervention to middle-aged and young patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI can reduce the sense of crisis, improve their mental state and quality of life, and raise the level of hope.
